The only thing worse than checking a dude’s face into the boards which gets you a 1 game suspension?The judgemental stare of Rich Hammond.

Jarret Stoll is out for Game 2. I’m okay with his suspension. That was an ugly, ugly hit and if the NHL did nothing it would set a bad precedent for the rest of the playoffs. Bobby Ryan can thank Stoll for that. But because of the Stoll suspension, for a brief few moments, it was almost Johnny Zeiler time for the Los Angeles Kings. So instead, Oscar Moller gets the call… and he must be incredibly excited to know that the only reason he’s playing in Game 2 of the NHL Playoffs is because of an administrative error.

Apparently, Dustin Penner has gone from a healthy scratch in Game 1 to back on the 1st (?) line for the Kings, with Michal Handzus and Dustin Brown. I think I know what is wrong with Penner. After spending 3 seasons in Edmonton, he’s just not used to playing in mid-April. Or maybe he’s had his mind on other, more personal matters.

Usually, Penner is a caddy for his GM come this time of year.

Game 2 is tonight at 7pm. I’ll probably be watching live. So use the comments below to scream once Moller gets his hat trick.
